Memory T Cells Are Significantly Increased in Rejecting Liver Allografts of Rhesus Monkeys

Conclusion:
The normal liver has large numbers of CD4 Tregs, CD8+CD28‐ and myeloid‐derived suppressor cells, which are known immunosuppressive cells occurring at much higher levels than those seen in lymph node or peripheral blood. Memory T cells are dramatically increased in rejecting liver allografts of rhesus monkeys compared to those seen in normal RM tissues. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
